I was right next to that fence that day and there were loads of Manc scallies taunting Cov. No idea if that was technically the family stand but no way Cov fans attacked families (I don't condone Cov fans behaviour btw)The main stand facing opposite Kippax. There was a family section part of Main stand, when Man City scored a late winner, loads of City fans jumped into the Family bit of main stand and started laying into Man City youngsters and family people. It was disgraceful and me and my wife left immediately in disgust.
I live in Machester and its definitely remembered.
League.
A more unrealistic but thought provoking question is win the playoffs or win the cup?

Mostly Manchester police attacking Cov fans from what I remember. They made us wait in for ages and it kept kicking off. No idea what happened with family stand.

I was there too. It was near the end of the game, and the stewards/ police that had been there earlier had pretty much vacated the divide between the fans, presumably to deal with crowd control as fans left the stadium. Despite not looking likely to all game, Man City scored right in front of us, and then there was a culmination of events where first off Huckerby celebrated big time in front of us goading our fans in the process, and then a large group of teenage youths aggressively came over towards us from the 'family' stand, if that's what it was, but on that side were also gathered a fair number of our hardcore supporters who simply charged over the divide and chased them back. As far as I could see no family's were attacked, although obviously some people were taken aback and possibly scared by what was happening around them. Ideally our fans would have stayed put, but in doing so that may have empowered their teenagers to give a few of our supporters a slap in the process.
To answer the original question, if we can only win one we win the league game, but draw the cup game, and of course then win the replay. At this moment in time though I think we can win both, although I have a gut feeling the league game might be the toughest of the games.
